How did you do it?

Put it on the inside and do not but weld it. Remember the floor holds the weight of the fuel tank . One other thing always have a spare in the car. The carriage bolt that holds the spare in holds the fuel tank strap brace up. I have see them rip through the floor with a full tank just relying on the sheet metal. The spare tire helps hold the tank up. The replacement well wedged in from the top is a added support for the well. Just some info you might want to consider.

Dont follow what your saying.........Strap on tank follows groove on outside of tank, and hooked on one side in frame rail and hook/thread w/nut adjustment on other frame rail?
